Technology & digital equity grant FAQ
What counts as a technology and digital equity grant?
These are grants that fund community technology, digital inclusion, broadband, and library technology — either written for libraries, digital-inclusion nonprofits, and local governments or open to them as eligible applicants. The federal anchors are the Digital Equity Act programs administered by NTIA, the Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) program, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) grants to libraries. Corporate and tech foundations — AWS, Google.org, Microsoft Philanthropies, and others — add device, connectivity, and capacity grants. FindGrants surfaces the open opportunities a library, digital-inclusion nonprofit, or local government can actually apply for right now, and filters out the deep federal R&D programs (NSF, NIH, NASA, NIST, defense) that fund research, not community technology.
Who can apply for technology and digital equity funding?
Public and tribal libraries, digital-inclusion and digital-literacy nonprofits, community technology centers, local and county governments, school districts, and community anchor institutions. Many Digital Equity Act and BEAD subgrants flow through a state's broadband office to these covered populations. Eligibility is set per program — the listings below show who each one is for.
What do technology and digital equity grants pay for?
Depending on the program: devices and hardware (laptops, tablets, hotspots), broadband and connectivity, digital-literacy and digital-navigator programs, public computer centers, library technology and maker spaces, cybersecurity and privacy capacity, and the staff and training to run them. Digital Equity Act capacity and competitive grants fund digital-inclusion programs for covered populations; IMLS grants fund library technology and services; corporate-foundation grants fund devices, software, and program capacity.
When are technology and digital equity grant applications due?
Deadlines vary by funder — NTIA's Digital Equity Act and BEAD subgrant cycles run through each state's broadband or digital-equity office, IMLS runs annual application windows, and corporate-foundation tech grants have their own rolling or annual cycles. The open opportunities below show current deadlines, or run your organization's profile through FindGrants to see every technology and digital equity grant you qualify for right now.
